WASHINGTON, d. c., January S.-There
are quite number of Senators absent this
winter. Brown, of Georgia, who rumor
has had it, eontemplates resigning, has not
yet put in an appearance. Camden and
Kenna, of West Virginia, are both here,
but will probably leave for Charleston next
week to remain until after the senatorial
contest there. There does not seem to he
much doubt among West Virginians here
but that Mr.. Camden will be chosen 10
succeed himself. Although the senatorial
contest is in full blast in Texas, both Coke
and Maxey are in Washington attending
to their legislative duties. Cullom, of Hi
nois, is taking no interest tn the contest
now going on at Springfield and remains
here taking care of his interstate COM
merce bill. Conger is in Michigan. His
successor is to be chosen this month and it
is not he. Although the contest for
Mr.. DAWES SEAT
is now going OH in Massachusetts,, Dawes
is in his seat The belief is strong here
that Ex-Governor Long will be Mr.. Dawes
successor. Edmunds has been reelected
and is in his seat. Warner Miller, of New
York, is in Albany trying TO secure his
own return. Evarts remains here quiet
and serene, taking no apparent interest in
the contest at that point. Fair, of Nevada,
has not put in an appearance this winter
and is not expected 10 take any further in
terest in legislative matters. GOrham, who
has been elected TO succeed himself is reg
ular in his attendance to his duties. Whit
thorne's, of Tennessee, seat will be vacant
next March, he has been elected to seat
in the House. He is here and taking no
interest in the contest in Tennessee. 1t is
said that Commissioner Atkins is an aspi
rant for senatorial honOrs. Both Harrison
and Voorhees, are in Indiana, the former
working for himself and the latter manag-
ing the contest for ex-senator Mcdonald.

since the holidays. lie is at home looking
after his own rejection. Jones, of Florida,
is still in Detroit. His term will expire
with this Congress and his successor will

is in Nebraska looking after his own con-
test, but MarderSOn remains in Washing
ton taking no part i'll the contest west of
Missouri river. Mitchell, of Pennsylvania,
who will be succeeded by Quay after the
4th of March, is here attending to his du-
ties as chairman of the Pension committee
and does not appear to be disturbed over
his prospect of dropping into obscurity.
Palmer, of Michigan. is among the absen-
tees, but it is not thought that he is taking
any part in the contest at Lansing Rid
dleberger, who holds over, does not often
come to the Senate. Sabin, of Minnesota,
is among those who is most always con-
spcuOus in his absence. Sherman has been
reelected and is acting US presiding officer
of the Senate Stanford, of California,
will have Democratic colleague after the
18th OF March and consequently takes no
interest in the coming contest at Sacra-
mento. Hearst, will it is believed be
